Time Signatures, Experiments & Soloing!

Well the good news is I tried something different, the bad is it ended - I wouldn't say poorly but it's not great that's for sure!  The piano is cute, the bass is fun but the whole thing just didn't come together right in the end.  But I'm wearing bunny ears so what's not to love right?

Seriously though I tried something different and wrote a song in a 6/4 time signature which wasn't as bad as I thought it would be however.. it's got first try written all over it and the whole thing is very messy.  There comes a point though when you have to admit defeat and move on, I'll still Instagram it after all my posts are only a bit of fun anyway, I'm not exactly promoting myself!

Despite the failure I did enjoy working this way and I'm definitely starting to think more about the dynamics between the instruments so I trimmed the bass in places to fit with the piano and allow certain sections to shine un-muddied by other instruments.

Lesson yesterday was good, they're hard at the moment because I'm a little uncertain about things but I'm so determined to get past this section and really start to improvise properly.  It will make me so happy.  We looked at going from one line straight into another and not thinking about it.  At the moment obviously I'm thinking a lot which creates pauses and when I don't think I do god knows what but a few weeks ago I couldn't have even done this so I am moving forward even if it's at a snails pace.  I'm so desperate to get through this so we can move on to new challenges.

Two weeks now until next guitar lesson so there is time to practice and I shall endeavour to do so as much as possible.
